Original 1983 Saturn pressing, hand painted I assume from the style by Sun Ra himself. This albums includes the absolutely amazing track "Nuclear War."
The vinyl: The LP is a super-strong VG+. (Remember, Saturn pressings were never of audiophile quality. This copy is a great VG+ for a Saturn.) NO SKIPS, NO FEELABLE MARKS, no pops.
The cover: I would almost dare to call it EX- if it weren't for the bit of water damage on the back cover (see photo). NOTE the water damage miraculously did NOT affect the front cover! So, to be fair, I'm calling the cover a strong VG+.
Matrix info: hand etched: SUN RA 1984 A /// SUN RA 1984 B
